That day is now upon us, and apparently Hart got an early start: he visited The Rittenhouse Hotel gym for a workout around 8 a.m. – it’s not the first time he’s popped in on one of our gyms – and posed for a photo with fans outside Schlesinger’s sometime this morning.

If you missed him, don’t worry – you’ll get another chance. The city will celebrate Kevin Hart Day with a mural dedication between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. outside Max’s Steaks, located at 3653 Germantown Ave. in North Philly – just a block from where Hart grew up. Hart, Mayor Jim Kenney, City Council President Darrell L. Clarke, Oh and others will attend.

The event will feature music from Chill Moody, Freeway and more. Artist Willis “Nomo” Humphrey is behind the mural, which was commissioned by Mural Arts.

Hart, who attended the Community College of Philadelphia and Temple University, has donated atleast $300,000 to Philly schools and held a free pop-up 5K in the city. He’s currently traveling on his Kevin Hart: What Now? comedy tour and will appear in the upcoming remake of Jumanji.

Forbes recently named Hart the world’s highest-paid comedian (and the first comedian to ever make more money than Jerry Seinfeld). Hart brought in almost $90 million between June 2015 and June 2016, according to Forbes.
